Zombieman carves through the Monster Association headquarters and is herded into a locked chamber to face the regenerating Pureblood, an exhausting duel of mutual wounds that tests even the undead hero's endurance before he emerges to press on.
Summary
Working along his assigned strike route through the Monster Association base, Zombieman cuts down every creature in his path. A gathering of monsters steers him toward a room, promising they will not attack and only want him to fight something inside. He obliges, and once he steps in they seal the exit behind him. Waiting there is Pureblood, and the two throw themselves into a brutal exchange.
Key Events
Zombieman absorbs a string of otherwise lethal wounds yet keeps pressing the attack until Pureblood finally falls. Afterward he admits the opponent was the toughest he has faced in a while and that the fight left him worn out. Bending the door's bar around the handles to lock the chamber, he turns on the crowd of monsters that had gathered to watch and wipes them out to the last. He then sits down to let his body knit itself back together, lighting a cigarette and checking his Locator. Child Emperor reports over the line that the hostage Waganma is safe and headed for the surface, ordering the heroes to keep to their missions but warning them against pushing too deep into enemy territory. His break finished and his wounds healed, Zombieman rises and continues down his route.
